Daytona Beach is Rockville!

Daytona Beach, Florida is famous for its sandy shoreline, a place where people come to bask in the sun, fish, swim or just enjoy the view of the Atlantic Ocean. Of course the city is also famous for its premiere annual event, The Daytona 500 NASCAR race. But for the past few years Daytona Beach has also been garnering fame as the home of Welcome to Rockville, one of the nation's most-revered hard rock and heavy metal music festivals. Featuring top stars like Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Cult, Avenged Sevenfold, Evanescence, Hardy, Pantera, Alice Cooper, Godsmack, Tool, Incubus and Deftones, Welcome to Rockville will shake Daytona Beach May 18 - 21, 2023. The fun takes place on the infield of the Daytona International Speedway.
